- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Homonyms & Homophones
Which of the following options is not one of the meanings of the homonym 'project'?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) A protective structure used in military defence
Meaning: project works both as a noun and as a verb — a planned piece of work, and "to stick out", "to estimate", "to throw an image forward".
The odd one out is a protective structure used in military defence *(रक्षा-प्राचीर, मोर्चा)*.
That is a bulwark or a rampart; *project* never carries that sense.
Why the others are fine.
• A planned piece of work to achieve a goal *(परियोजना)* — the everyday noun, stressed PRO-ject.
• To extend outward or stick out *(बाहर निकलना, उभरा होना)* — *a balcony projects from the wall*; stressed pro-JECT.
• To guess or estimate something *(अनुमान लगाना)* — *analysts project next year's sales*.
